Torque-Monitored
Make-up & Break-out
A fully automated bucking unit with torque-turn monitoring logs, plots and verifies the make-up graph for every single connection against manufacturer specification — so nothing reaches the rig unverified.
MonitoringTorque-turn, logged
VerificationGraph per connection
ObjectiveOptimum torque & seal reliability
Make-up
Bucked to spec
The unit is suited to the bucking or make-up of:
- Pup joints and couplings
- Centralizers and BHA assembly
- Completion equipment and Parker assemblies
- Stage tools and cement assemblies
- Any equipment that must be rig-ready before arrival at site
Break-out
Unbucked without damage
The same unit handles the unbucking and break-out of:
- Drilling and casing tools
- Centralizers, and coupling removal from casing and tubing
- Disassembly of Bottom Hole Assemblies (BHAs)
- Down-hole tools seized and unable to be broken apart at the rig

Common questions
How is make-up torque verified?
A fully automated bucking unit with torque-turn monitoring logs, plots and verifies the make-up graph for every single connection against manufacturer specification.
What can be bucked on the unit?
Pup joints and couplings, centralizers and BHA assembly, completion equipment and Parker assemblies, and cement assemblies.
Do we receive a record of the make-up?
Yes. A graph is produced for each connection, so nothing reaches the rig unverified.
